Barn to the north of Annat Walls house is an adaptation of a pair of bastles. There is a datestone 'IW WW, 1707' on the eastern bastle. There is an illustration and plan of the structure. The farmhouse itself, altered in 1930, was formerly dated 1765 and was a bastle derivative, with two-storeys above a basement. (PastScape–ref. Perriam and Robinson)
Farmhouse and barn in style of a bastle.
An early 20th century postcard shows a house with external stone steps to first floor front door and a stone mullioned window similar to Windy Hall and Bunkershill. Peter Ryder adds; The farmhouse... altered c. 1930, was formerly dated '1765' and was a bastle-derivative house with two storeys above a basement; the front has been re-windowed but at the rear small chamfered loops with iron bars survive.' Attached to the house is a barn with a first floor doorway, which in the area, suggests a residence. (Perriam and Robinson 1998)
